Hopes of an Indian Summer across Berkshire appear to have been put on hold with disturbances in the Atlantic bringing more unsettled conditions.

Initial predictions suggested a mild, settled start to September with balmy temperatures and plenty of sunshine.

But the best of the weather may now not arrive until the end of the month and last into early October.

Although temperatures reached 25C in the south east on Sunday, September 9 and are forecast to hit 23C in Reading, Berkshire on Tuesday, September 11 it is likely to start to feel much cooler by the end of this week with further periods of wet and windy weather expected.

An invigorated jet steam will cause winds to strengthen with a succession of cold fronts set to roll in from the north west.
